Definitions

  • the present teaching relates generally to wireless communications. More specifically, the present teaching relates to method and system for power headroom computation and report thereof as well as systems incorporating the same.
  • FIG. 1 is a functional block diagram of an exemplary system 100 of networks for providing mobile voice telephone services and various data services.
  • diagram 100 shows two wireless networks 120 and 135 operated in accordance with, e.g., different technology standards.
  • the networks 120 and 135 may be operated by different providers, carriers or operators.
  • the communication networks 120 and 135 provide mobile voice telephone communications as well as other data services for numerous mobile stations.
  • the system 100 also includes mobile devices such as 105 and 125, typically operated by the networks' customers.
  • mobile devices typically take the form portable handsets, smart-phones personal digital assistants, or data cards for computers, although they may be implemented in other form factors.
  • Each mobile communication network 120 or 135 provides communications between mobile stations 105 and 125 as well as communications for the mobile devices with other networks and stations outside the mobile communication networks.
  • An inter-carrier or other intermediate network 140 may provide communication connectivity between the mobile communication networks 120 and 135.
  • An example of such an intermediate network is a Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN).
  • PSTN Public Switched Telephone Network
  • Each network 120 and 135 allows users of the mobile stations operating through the respective network to initiate and receive telephone calls or data to each other as well as through the public switched telephone network (PSTN) 140 connected thereto.
  • PSTN public switched telephone network
  • One or both of the networks typically offers a variety of text and other data services, including services via the Internet 145, such as downloads, web browsing, e-mail, etc. via servers shown generally at 150 as well as message communications with terminal devices represented generally by the personal computer 160.
  • a user of a mobile device e.g., 105
  • a mobile device e.g., 105 may connect with a base station in the locale where the mobile device is situated and via network 135 to connect to a server, e.g., 150 on the Internet.
  • Mobile device 105 may be supported to perform communication with both mobile device 125 and server 150 simultaneously.
  • the 3G Long Term Evolution (LTE) concept supports fast scheduling and link adaptation in frequency and time domains both for the uplink (UL) and the downlink (DL). This means that the resource assignment can be adjusted to the users' momentary traffic demand and channel variations. This includes the adaptation as to transmission power used by a mobile device to transmit signals based on the real-time situations. In general, excessive power usage should be avoided to save user equipment (UE) battery life and to avoid both intra-cell and inter-cell interference.
  • the LTE specifications support a base station mechanism for controlling the transmit power of a mobile device or a user equipment (UE).
  • the Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR) or Signal-to-Noise and Interference Ratio (SINR) (when interference is accounted for) of the signals exchanged between a UE and a base station is controlled to stay below a targeted value SNR target .
  • the UE power usage can be dynamically adjusted based on a variety of factors. For instance, it may depend on the scheduled bandwidth for transmission. For example, the UE power needs to be shared over the allocated bandwidth (BW). In a poor radio condition, a UE may not reach the targeted SNR even with a small bandwidth allocation. In a good radio condition, the UE power may be sufficient to fill the entire available bandwidth and still reach the target SNR.
  • the power may be sufficient up-to a certain bandwidth.
  • a UE may transmit with the maximum available power and the received SNR may depend on the momentary link path gain.
  • the power used for a UE to transmit may also depend on the path loss of a particular locale.
  • Such adaptation function estimates the transmission parameters (modulation and coding) based on an estimated SNR (or SINR if interference is estimated).
  • a LTE base station usually estimates the radio propagation condition, i.e. the path gain to determine the received SNR for a certain BW allocation.
  • a base station needs knowledge of the uplink gain of the user.
  • the base station should know both the received power from the UE and the transmit power used by the UE. While the base station can determine the received power by measurement on the uplink transmission, the UE transmit power is commonly made known to a base station via a power headroom report from the UE that reports the transmit power to the base station.
  • a UE measures power headroom and likely also reports the power headroom.
  • the content may be the difference, e.g., between UE maximum power and UE transmit power, either a total value or a value per resource block, or the UE transmit power, either a total value or a value per resource block.
  • P CMAX is the configured maximum UE output power.
  • the following parameters determine the value of Pcmax: the UE power class, maximum allowed power configured by higher layer and UE's implementation margins.
  • the expression inside the braces corresponds to the power that is used for transmission determined based on different considerations. Therefore, PH(i) aims to provide a measurement for the unused power.
  • the actual power used for transmission depends on dynamic field situations. For instance, M PUSCH (i) is the bandwidth of the PUSCH transmission expressed in number of resource blocks taken from the resource allocation valid for uplink subframe i from a scheduling grant received on subframe i-K PUSCH .
  • P O_PUSCH is a parameter with 1 dB resolution composed of the sum of an 8-bit cell specific nominal component P O_NOMINAL_PUSCH signaled via broadcast control channel (BCCH) on the physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) in the range of [-126,24] dBm and a 4-bit UE specific component P O_UE_PUSCH signaled via radio resource control (RRC) in the range of [-8, 7] dB.
  • ⁇ has possible values ⁇ 0, 0.4, 0.5, 0.6, 0.7, 0.8, 0.9, 1 ⁇ and either is signaled by a 3-bit cell specific parameter via BCCH on the PDSCH, or has constant value of 1.
  • PL is the downlink path loss estimate calculated in the UE from a reference symbol received power (RSRP) measurement and signaled reference symbol (RS) transmit power.
  • RSRP reference symbol received power
  • RS signaled reference symbol
  • ⁇ TF corresponds to a measure associated with the power used when a certain modulation is used.
  • Item f(i) is related to the amount of increase in the signal strength determined dynamically by the network.
  • the power headroom reporting is configured to be carried out when certain conditions are met.
  • One typical power headroom reporting procedure is shown in FIG. 2 , which dictates that a power headroom reporting occurs whenever (1) a periodic timer in accordance with a set period goes off, (2) the path loss is greater than a pre-determined threshold, and (3) a power headroom report is triggered by upper layer.
  • Conditions to trigger power headroom reporting are often configured at an upper layer. When the condition is met, the PH(i) values as computed based on formula (1) are used to generate a power headroom report and are transmitted.
  • the path loss is measured at 210. If the change in pass loss ( ⁇ P) is greater than a pre-determined threshold, tested at 240, power headroom is to be reported at 270.
  • the reported power headroom is computed based on the formulation as specified at 280. In addition to this power headroom reporting condition, there may be others as well. For instance, the power headroom reporting can be set up to be performed periodically. In this case, a power headroom reporting (PHR) timer is checked, at 220, periodically and if the timer is expired, determined at 250, power headroom is to be reported at 270 in accordance with the computation as set forth at 280. In some situations, power headroom reporting may also be required. For example, upper layer configuration may be checked at 230. If it is required to perform power headroom reporting, determined at 260, power headroom is computed in accordance with the formula as set at 280 and reported at 270.
  • PHR power headroom reporting
  • a UE's actual maximum transmission power may vary dynamically. For example, when a UE conducts multiple radio transmissions simultaneously for, e.g., both voice and data transmission, the actual maximum power available for the LTE network may vary and may sometimes be smaller than P CMAX .
  • Uplink transmission under UE transmit power limitation in LTE-Advanced LG ELECTRONICS, 3rd GENERATION PARTNERSHIP PROJECT (3GPP), 3GPP TSG RAN WG1 #58bis, R1-094165, October 12 -16, 2009, Miyazaki, Japan

  • the available maximum power variation of a second channel is estimated based on power usage in radio transmission of a first channel.
  • a plurality of measures related to radio transmission via the second channel are also computed.
  • To control power headroom reporting it is tested as to whether one or more conditions for power headroom reporting of the second channel are satisfied in accordance with a configuration with respect to power headroom reporting. If the one or more conditions are met, a power headroom is computed based on the estimated power variation relating to the first channel and the radio transmission measures relating to the second channel.

  • At least one of the at least one transceiver and the microprocessor is configured to estimate the available maximum power variation of a second channel based on power usage in radio transmission of a first channel, compute a plurality of measures related to radio transmission via the second channel, test whether one or more conditions for power headroom reporting of the second channel are met in accordance with a configuration with respect to power headroom reporting, compute a power headroom based on the estimated power variation relating to the first channel and the radio transmission measures relating to the second channel, and transmit a power headroom report generated based on the computed power headroom.
  • a machine-readable medium has instructions recorded thereon, which, when read by the machine, causes the machine to perform functions including estimating the available maximum power variation of a second channel based on power usage in radio transmission of a first channel and computing a plurality of measures related to radio transmission via the second channel. Execution of the instructions also causes the machine to test whether one or more conditions for power headroom reporting of the second channel are met in accordance with a configuration with respect to power headroom reporting, compute a power headroom based on the estimated power variation relating to the first channel and the radio transmission measures relating to the second channel, and transmit a power headroom report generated based on the computed power headroom.

  • the present teaching discloses method and system to enable a UE to properly compute and report its power headroom to a base station, when the UE's maximum transmit power varies dynamically.
  • the actual maximum power is a summation of the originally configured maximum output power P CMAX and ⁇ P, defined as the power usage elsewhere in the UE.
  • a UE supports multiple radio transmissions, there are multiple underlying applications operating simultaneously on the UE. For instance, a first application may operate for voice communication via e.g., CDMA 1x, and another second application may operate for data transmission via LTE.
  • a first application may operate for voice communication via e.g., CDMA 1x
  • another second application may operate for data transmission via LTE.

  • the LTE power headroom reporting needs to take into account of the power usage of all transmissions even though one application may not be aware of the usage of the other. This is particularly so when the power usage due to multiple radio transmissions makes the actual P CMAX on the LTE side smaller than what is originally scheduled. Based on formula (2), the actual remaining power of the UE can be more precisely computed and reported.
  • ⁇ P can be computed based on parameters related to radio transmissions, e.g., the transmission environment such as path loss, modulation scheme used for transmission, or distance between the UE and the base station.
  • a precise formulation to be used for computing ⁇ P may depend on the particular type of UE, specific target applications intended to run on such UE, and other application dependent situations.
  • FIG. 3 is a flowchart of an exemplary process in which a mobile device carries out power headroom computation and reporting, in accordance with an embodiment of the present teaching.
  • a series of conditions under which power headroom reporting will be triggered are first set up or configured at 300.
  • UE will first check, at 310, whether power headroom reporting (PHR) is disabled by upper layer or not. If the PHR is allowed, during operations of a mobile device, power variation ⁇ P is computed, at 320. Such computation may be carried out in accordance with some pre-determined time schedule. In some embodiments, ⁇ P may be computed periodically based on a fixed time interval.
  • PHR power headroom reporting
  • ⁇ P may be computed periodically based on a fixed time interval.
  • ⁇ P may be computed periodically dynamically based on some condition, e.g., whenever there are multiple radio transmissions occurring.
  • the computation of ⁇ P may be carried out in a mixed mode, e.g., generally in accordance with one fixed time interval and with another periodicity (such as more frequently) if there is a special event such as parallel data transmission.
  • Such computed ⁇ P reflects the consumption of power that is otherwise not known but needs to be taken into account when power headroom is considered.
  • measurements and events related to triggering the reporting of power headroom are also determined at 330, which include measures included in the braces of formula (2) above. For example, the path loss estimate (PL), the upper layer's signaling to mandate power headroom reporting if configured, and the expiration of the periodicity power headroom reporting timer if configured.
  • PL path loss estimate
  • Those measures and events are determined in order to test, at 340, whether any of the triggering conditions for power headroom reporting is satisfied. Details related to such a testing to see whether power headroom reporting is triggered are discussed with reference to FIG. 4 .
  • the actual power headroom estimate at that moment i is calculated, at 360, based on measurements of ⁇ P and various items in the braces of formula (2). For example, the bandwidth of the PUSCH transmission (M PUSCH (i)), path loss estimate (PL), power used when certain modulation is used ( ⁇ TF ), and the amount of increase in signal strength determined dynamically by the network (f(i)).
  • the dynamically computed power headroom for that moment i is then used to generate, at 370, a power headroom report and such a power headroom report is then transmitted, at 380, to the base station so that it can be used for the base station to determine on-the-fly whether and how the power used by the underlying mobile device to transmit information can be adjusted.
  • the mobile device once the power headroom report is transmitted, it loops back to continually compute ⁇ P and other measurements/events related to power headroom reporting based on some pre-determined schedule.
  • FIG. 4 depicts an exemplary enhanced power headroom reporting scheme consistent with formula (2) according to an embodiment of the present teaching.
  • conditions under which power headroom reporting is triggered are disclosed.
  • various measures related to a determination of power headroom reporting are computed.
  • ⁇ P is computed at 405 to estimate the variation of the maximum transmission power.
  • Some configurations or measurements that are directly related to the conditions to trigger power headroom reporting may also be checked or computed. For instance, since power headroom reporting may be triggered based on path loss, an estimate of path loss is computed at 410.
  • the configuration related to power headroom reporting on a particular mobile device is checked. As illustrated, a timer that is set for periodic power headroom reporting is examined at 415.
  • the upper layer configuration of the mobile device as to whether power headroom reporting is required is also checked at 420.
  • the timing of the power headroom reporting may be determined based on both whether the power headroom reporting timing is appropriate. For example, as to an appropriate timing, it may be checked, at 445, to see whether power headroom reporting is required based on the upper layer configuration of the mobile device. If the upper layer configuration is set in such a way that power headroom reporting is required, power headroom reporting will proceed. If the 445 check returns "No", the mobile device may loop back to 420 to keep checking the upper layer configuration so that when the configuration changes, which may occur at any moment, power headroom reporting may proceed in accordance with the configuration change. If it is required to perform power headroom reporting, the mobile device may enter 455 to proceed actual reporting.
  • Power headroom reporting may also be carried out under other conditions. For instance, power headroom reporting may be performed periodically. In this operation mode, a timer may be deployed in accordance with a set period for power headroom reporting. In this type of situation, the mobile device may check, at 440, to see whether the timer has expired, i.e., reached a point at which power headroom reporting is due. If not, the mobile device may loop back to 415 to continue checking the status of the timer and the loop may continue until the timer expires. When the timer has expired, the mobile device may then enter into a state in which a power headroom reporting operation is actually carried out at 455. In addition to the timer testing, other conditions (see below discussion) may also trigger power headroom reporting.
  • dynamic conditions may also be used as measures as to when power headroom reporting is actually performed.
  • the amount of power variation, ⁇ P may be used to determine when power headroom should be reported.
  • the mobile device may be configured so that when ⁇ P exceeds a certain amount, as determined at 425, it may trigger an actual reporting event.
  • the variation in path loss, or ⁇ PL may also be used to determine, as shown at 435, whether an actual reporting should be carried out. In some situations, when ⁇ P or ⁇ PL alone does not exceed a certain threshold but the summation of both does, as determined at 430, it may also trigger a power headroom reporting event.
  • UE will calculate and report the new power headroom based on the formula indicated in 460. This is illustrated in FIG. 4 where when either of illustrated conditions is met, as ORed at 450 based on conditions tested at 425, 430, 435, 440, and 445, it will trigger, at 455, a power headroom reporting event. It is understood that although certain type of logical relationship among specific criteria is shown herein, other types of logical relationships among these specific criteria may also be applied, depending on the needs of underlying applications.
